2012 London Summer Olympics -Mascots- Wenlock and Mandeville.

London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville.

London promised to connect young people with the power of the Games and in doing so inspire them to choose sport. The mascots will be one of the most powerful ways to connect with young people and deliver this promise.

Created from the last two drops of steel used to build the Olympic Stadium, sport is at the heart of the mascots' story.

Along their journey to London 2012, they will travel around the UK, meeting people and learning about all the Olympic and Paralympic sports – always striving to push beyond their personal best.
